A Carnot engine, having an efficiency of η=1/10 as heat engine, is used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the system is 10J, the amount of energy absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is
Options
(a) 100 J
(b) 99 J
(c) 90 J
(d) 1 J
Correct Answer:
90 J
Explanation:
Efficiency of carnot engine n = 1 – (T₂ / T₁)
That is, 1 / 10 = 1 – (T₂ / T₁)
⇒ (T₂ / T₁) = 1 – (1 / 10) = 9 / 10 ⇒ (T₁ / T₂) = 10 / 9
.·. w = Q₂ . [(T₁ / T₂) – 1) ⇒ 10 = Q₂ [(10 / 9) – 1]
⇒ 10 = Q₂ (1 / 9) ⇒ Q₂ = 90 J
So, 90 J heat is absorbed at lower temperature.
